THE GEN3 TYPE OF SEATBELT IN OUR PLYMOUTH VOYAGER MINIVAN CAME ACCIDENTALLY UNDONE WHEN IT WAS BUMPED BY ONE OF MY CHILDREN. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR INJURY BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN ON THE CHILD SEAT WHICH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NOTICED.

COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. I HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN REGARDING A RUSTED COVER HOUSING ON SUSPENSION SPRINGS ON THE FRONT, DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER VAN. I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IF I HAD NOT HAD MY MOTOR POWER WASHED RECENTLY. THE MAN THAT CLEANED IT POINTED OUT THIS SERIOUSLY RUSTED COVER ABOVE THE SUSPENSION ,AND TOLD ME IT COULD COLLAPSE, CAUSING THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION TO PROJECT UP AND THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD, AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS WAS COMMON ON PLYMOUTH VOYAGERS. I ALSO INQUIRED AT A BODY SHOP, AND WAS GIVEN THE SAME INFORMATION, AND A SHOWN A PICTURE OF A CAR THEY WERE PRESENTLY WORKING ON WHICH HAPPENED TO BE THE EXACT SAME 1999 PLYMOUTH VOYAGER AS MINE! DEALER SAID THAT THIS WAS COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE MODEL. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER CORPORATION BY CALLING THEIR 800 NUMBER. UPON CALLING T CUSTOMER SERVICE I WAS INFORMED THEY WOULD MAKE A NOTE OF MY CONCERN BUT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. CONSUMER BELIEVED THIS WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY FACTOR THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE SOONER RATHER THAN LATER, BEFORE A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION CRACKED, WHICH CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK. *JB THE REPAIR DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CASE HOUSING WAS CRACKED AND CAUSED LOST OF FLUID AND PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY. THIS OCCURRED DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. *SC *JB

DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING THAT WOULD LIGHT UP "AIRBAG" LIGHT ON DASH BUT, ONLY WHEN TURNING TO THE LEFT. THIS CONDITION, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER, DISABLED MY AIRBAG. THE DEALER LEFT IT UP TO ME TO DECIDE IF I WANT TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART OR, DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE AIRBAG. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ONLY RECOMMENDED I HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED. WRITES STACIE PERRY, SENIOR STAFF REPRESENTATIVE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER;" ADDITIONALLY, DAIMLER CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS THAT YOU HAVE THE REPAIR PERFORMED AT YOUR LOCAL DAIMLER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP." WHEN I RESPONDED TO THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER WITH THE QUESTION; "...IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH THE POTENTIAL OF NOT HAVING MY AIRBAG DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IS THAT CORRECT?" THEIR RESPONSE WAS, "AGAIN, IF SOMETHING IS MALFUNCTIONING ON YOUR VEHICLE, DAIMLER CHRYSLER STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU HAVE IT REPAIRED." THIS LANGUAGE, IN MY OPINION, IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO FORK OVER 231.00 DOLLARS FOR A REPAIR THAT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY. THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS DESIGNED TO BE MAINTENANCE FREE. CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT PREVIOUS MODEL YEAR VEHICLES EXHIBITED THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT CHRYSLER HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *NLM

TRANSMISSION WONT CHANGE GEAR PROPERLY. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED TWO SENSORS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *NLM

MY CAR ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES AND IT ALREADY HAS A WARPED MAIN GASKET. I TOOK IT TO GET REPAIRED THE MECHANIC SAID IT MUST BE A RECALL BECAUSE THAT'S NOT NORMAL. THE REPAIRS CLOSE TO 1,000 DLS. *LA
